Selected as one of ten girls to be trained as royal concubines to the fearsome and power-hungry King Gezo, Arike finds herself trapped in a golden cage where beauty is weapon, silence is survival, and every smile hides a dagger. But Arike is not like the others. Beneath her soft skin and graceful steps lies a heart burning with vengeance-and a mind sharp enough to outwit queens. In a palace filled with jealous wives, seductive plots, and deadly secrets, Arike must navigate power games, brutal betrayals, and her own rising influence... all while keeping her ultimate goal hidden: To bring down the very king who made her his captive.
Hard Man
Although no one knew it, Desire was struggling. It was highly unbelievable because as a top worker in one of Lagos' most exclusive and influential night clubs, she was making thousands every night. All her other friends were living large, and building houses, so why couldn't she? Her father had died five years ago, leaving them drowning in a sea of debt. Her mother was sick, and couldn't do anything, so from an early age Desire had had to wear the mantle of responsibility. A twenty six million naira debt was on her neck, and for five years, Desire had consistently been paying it off; while simultaneously keeping a roof over her mother's head, and saving up money for school. Salvation came at last; but in form of the hardest, most handsome man she had ever laid eyes upon? General Babalola Halal. He was offering five million Naira for a whole month of exclusive sex. Pure, undiluted gratification. It was her job, and this offer was coming on a platter of gold. Even more tempting was the fact that it was the exact amount needed to be free of her father's debt. Completely. But he was hard, and demanding, and excruciatingly virile. Accepting this posed a risk far greater than millions. The stark reality of losing everything she stood for, and gaining nothing in return because a man like this never gave anything of himself. He was rich, five million Naira meant nothing to him. But she knew what she was getting into, she knew how addictive his touch was, and how hard it was to stay sane around him. Could she do this? Was losing her sanity a price she was willing to pay?Complete
